IS Infinite Build
Construct 43: A sisterly tussle?
Sento: In the last Construct we cleared things up with Charlotte who was discovered to be a bastard child of the Dunios CEO, but as a great weight was lifted off of Charlotte, suspicions were casted upon Ichijo the art Teacher for being either Stalk or Rouge.
Ichika: Ichijo-sensei? But he's an art teacher.
Sento: I never said he was "The" culprit. Just like with Charles we need not cast the blame till we know all the evidence. Thus what will happen in Construct 43?!

We are Sento
I ponder looking over the data. "I got the data you requested, but I'm still wondering. Why did you ask me to look this man up?" Sawa-san says, I lean back in my chair. "Just yesterday, when I was walking around, I saw one of his paintings." I pull up the picture, and I show it to Sawa-san. "Ooh, what a nice pai- Wait." The pieces connect, as she backs up.
Sawa:(ponders) I recognize the location and people in the picture but… How?
Charles:(walks over) Perhaps he just came by the battle by accident.
Sento:(nods) That's what I he said at first as well. But if he came across the fight, then he would have no idea what we would be fighting over. Yet there's this light in the picture that I can only relate to Katsuragi's Data.
Charles: There's got to be more than that to pin Ichijo-sensei to one of those two.
Sento:(looks over) Yes, this is just a painting. The light could equally be an artist's interpretation to the fight. I know that, but then Ichijo made the action, where he lifted his brush to his nose and lightly sniffed the brush. Just like how Stalk did when we saw Stalk transform.
"I see..." Charles ponders on this. That's when the sounds of footsteps knocks us out of our pondering period. "Hey! Sento?!" Ichika voice shouts out. "He's here. Let's discuss this with Ichika over lunch." Charles and Sawa-san nods. "Are you cooking again Sensei?" Charles asks, and with a glance back to her I nod is met with a smile. "Come on. I have something very tasty in mind." Heading up the stairs, opening the fridge door, I exit out. "D-Did sensei just exit from the fridge?" I look up to see Cecilia along with Rin, and Houki.
Rin: I-I think he just did…
Sento:(turns to Ichika) Why did you bring them here?
Ichika:(shrugs) They just followed me, they all insisted.(sighs) Look I'm sorry okay?
I lightly sigh. I get the feeling that this is going to get loud soon. I head to the kitchen as I head up to the wall. "What are you doing?" I put my hands into two slots in the empty wall. I grab and pull out two wooden handles. "Whu?" I pull back, opening the real fridge. "Th-The wall is the real fridge….What?" I grab a bowl with a mixture of ground beef, eggs, panko, chopped onions, all mixed together. "You making Hamburger's or something?" I also grab union, sauces, buns, tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, potatoes, salt, pepper, butter, and cooking oil. "I am, but today it's gonna be an American style Hamburger with fries." I say as I lay the items out on the kitchen table.
Rin:(leans over counter) Wait… You cook?
Charles:(walks out) Yes, he works at this Cafe, and should now how to cook.
Ichika:(sits down) Anyways, that's not what's important. What did you want to talk to me about?
Sento:(cutting vegetables) Right, I wanted to talk to you about the potential spy we have at the Academy.
Cecilia, Rin, Houki, Ichika: A spy?!
Sento:(nods) Correct, but this is a Faust Spy getting information, and sending it back to who ever is at the leader. And this spy may just be Blood Stalk.
"No way..." Ichika mutters as he looks down at the table. I explain the situation, as Sawa-san hands the info she's collected over to the others to explain, as I cook the meat and the buns. "Ichijo is Stalk? No way." I take the meat off the grill and begin building the burger.
Sento:(checking oil) It's all just speculation really.(takes out fries) So we need to keep this a secret. But also we need someone to do a thorough investigation.(sprinkles salt) I know someone with just the resources to properly handle this investigation without letting anyone know.(adds fries to plate) She should be arriving soon.(puts up plates) Here we are, Japan style hamburger with fries.
"Ooh..." "Dig in." I hand the plates to my students, and they begin to dig in. I take two more plates, and place them next to each other on the counter. "Chloe! Lunch is ready!" At the same time, who else to come in other then Bodewig-san. "Instructor. I'm here as requested." Chloe exits the fridge and the two lock eyes. "Project: 1248. Why are you here?" Chloe asks with blank stare.
Laura: And why is a supposed "Complete Being" doing in such a rundown place like this?
Hey, this place isn't that run down. It's surprisingly advance all things considered. "Now, now you two. Let's not throw names around." I gesture the two to take a seat. The two not even breaking lock for a second the two walk over to their plates and separate from each other. Goodness it's like dealing with 5 year olds. "What? What? What's happening?" Tabane asks also coming out of the fridge.
Sento:(sighs) Dealing with 5 year olds who have no idea the concept of forgiving.
Houki:(getting out of chair) Nee...San?
Tabane: Hoki-chan?
Sento:(sweatdrop) Phoo boy...(turns to Ichika) This is one of the reasons why I asked you to not let anyone follow you.
"HOKI-Chan~!" Tabane shouts as she jumps over the counter, trying to give a hug to Houki. Houki grabs Tabane and throw her over the shoulder. Tabane is flung onto the ground and lies on the ground. "Tabane, please don't do that again." I tell her walking over with two more plates. I place them down on a table as Tabane gets back up.
Tabane:(puffing cheeks) Boo~ Houki-chan, you could be a little more welcoming.
Houki:(turns away) Don't want to talk to you.
Tabane:(surprised) Wha?! No… It can't be... MY LITTLE SISTER HAS ENTERED HER REBELLIOUS PERIOD!
"Get A hold of yourself!" I shout slamming her over the head with my rubber glove. "Owei~ You're so- Oooh." Tabane looks down upon the plate of food liying before her. "Eat up." "Gladly!" Tabane says taking a seat putting her hands together and saying. "Thank you for the meal!" Before digging in. Though the air is tense between Chloe and Bodewig. Maybe I should have waited to bring Bodewig in for this mission.
Meanwhile… IS Academy Art Class room 3 We are Observer
Ichijo sits alone in his room. The light of the sunny waters beam through the windows cascading into a beautiful image on the floor of the room. Looking down at the floor to see the cascading images, he lifts his pencil. He slides the pencil across his nose, lightly having a sniff before putting the pencil on the paper. With gentle ease Ichijo lightly sketches across the piece of drawing paper. But in the corner where a dark shadows overlap, smoke begins to build up.
Ichijo: I'd figure you'd be arriving sooner or later. Batman.
Rouge:(appears) Do not call me "Batman." It's-
Ichijo:(waves) I know, I know. It's Night Rouge. Geez learn to take a bit of sarcasm why don't you?
Rouge:(grunts) I don't do, sarcasm. Never mind. About that plan you sent in.
Ichijo:(looks back) It's getting passed, No?(looks back at skech) Trust me. It's still inside her, and we can use this to full Awaken Banjou. And we could have an extra plus as well.
Rouge:(walks over) Are you referring to "Her?" You honestly think she has the potential to become a rider?
Ichijo:(smiles) You know as well as I, that she's got plenty of potential. We just need to give the push to reach for that power. Leaving solutions so limited, tends to make a person creative in a situation no? Especially if this girl is about as competitive as I've heard. You're on board our little plan right?
Rouge: We'll see, I've also got my own plan in all of this.
"Fine then. Is that all?" Ichijo asks Rouge. A small nod is given. "Okay then. Chao!" Ichijo says as Rouge backs up into the corner and gas surrounds him as he fades away. "That mist trick is always so Batman esk." Ichijo puts down his skech and walks over to his desk. Sliding open a drawer he pulls out the same gun and helmet from the battle. "I suppose I'll be needing this soon." He lets out a small chuckle.
Infinite Stratos Cafe… We are Sento
Cleaning the dishes, I explain the situation to Bodewig. "Observation of Instructor Ichijo?" I nod as I wash the plates. "Yes, altho it's more stalking if anything." Bodewig looks up at me, and slowly turns her head in confusion. "Stalking?" I pause, putting down my plate and turning off the faucet. "D-Do you not know what stalking is?" I ask turning to Bodewig. Bodewig confirms.
Sento:(sighs) How long, may I ask have you been in the military?
Laura:(sits straight) 15 years sir.
Sento:(rubs eyes) Sweet Jesus, I must ask what was you're beef with Chloe? What this about Chloe being a "Complete Being?"
Laura: That is classified information. But all I will say is… That she had no flaws… While I was considered a failure. Yet they were forced to use me when she disappeared on a mission here. She and I are tools, She was the better tool. When she went missing I was used as a less superior tool.
Sento:(sighs) Please don't call yourself a tool.
Laura: It matters little of what I am. I have a mission and I intend to get that mission done.
Sento:(crosses arms) I'm glad you feel that way, but you still realise that you are a human with emotions, thus you can't call yourself a tool. And if it's any consolation, you're sister is far from any sort of complete being.
Laura:(stands up) I must begin my mission. Permission to be dismissed?
Sento: A-... Sure. Dismissed.
With that and a salute from Bodewig, she leaves the Cafe. I let out another sigh, as I head back into the kitchen to continue cleaning the dishes. "I can definitely see the resemblance." I say as Chloe stands up from behind the counter. "Really? Cause I can't." I chuckle. "Oh yeah. Blind dedication, quick to anger, dangerous behavior… You two are two peas in a pod." Complete being, yeah right. "Whatever! I'm going to go make a Full Bottle now!" She exclaims as she heads back down stairs. "Do that please!" I shout back a she enters the fridge…. Wait. I just realised something.
Sento:(looking around) Where did Ichika, Charles, Cecilia, Rin, Houki, and Tabane go?
